November ICS Blog Hop…Christmas is Coming!

Welcome to the Inspire Create Share blog hop. We are Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators and gather together every month to share ideas around a theme. This month the theme is Christmas is Coming!

I recently received a lovely card from my stamping friend, Linda. I loved the fold she used so I decided it would be a fun one to use for the blog hop.

• Poppy Parade CS 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
• Timeless Christmas DSP 1-1/4″ x 4″ (cut 2) berry and holly pattern
• Poppy Parade CS 3″ x 3″ cut using Stylish Shapes circle die #5 (#1 being the smallest circle)
• Basic White CS 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ punched with 2-3/8″ circle punch
• Basic White CS 3/4″ x 3-3/4″ punched usin the Three Banner Punch
• Poppy Parade CS 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2″, 3-3/4″, 7-1/4″, 9″
• Timeless Christmas DSP 1-3/4″ x 4″ (polka dots) cut 2
• Timeless Christmas DSP 1-1/2″ x 4″ (tree design) cut 2
• Peaceful Pine DSP 3-1/4″ x 4″
• Basic White C 3″ x 3-3/4″

This is the card opened. You cannot see the card base it is attached to, in this picture. The inner sentiment is from the Woodland Wishes stamp set, The koala and wreath is from the Joyful Friends stamp set. I used Peaceful Pine, Poppy Parade, Smoky Slate, and Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends to color the image. When attaching the stamped image to the card be sure to apply adhesive to just one side. Here I attached it to the left side of the card. The banner sentiment is from the Soiree Salutations set punched out with the Three Banner punch. The Poppy Parade pearls are from the Adhesive-Backed Christmas Berries.

This is a bird’s eye view of the card. You can see how the 4-1/4″ x 11″ Poppy Parade CS fits on the card base.

Be sure to check out all the stops on the hop.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop.
